Signs it is time to call
Any one of these is worth a call. Two or more, call today.
- You turn the key and get a click, or nothing at all
- Slow crank, especially first thing in the morning
- The car starts after a jump but dies again the next day
- Dash lights flicker or the radio resets on its own
- Battery warning light on while driving (that can be the alternator instead of the battery)
- The battery is more than three or four years old. Charleston heat shortens battery life.

Pricing
$125 minimum, $0 travel fee
Battery replacement and jump starts are billed at the $125 minimum. The battery itself is quoted for your exact vehicle before any work starts. Labor is $125 per hour. If the battery tests fine and the problem is somewhere else, the $125 covers the diagnostic and carries into the repair labor when the cause is not electrical.

Battery & No-Start FAQ
Can you jump start my car instead of replacing the battery?
Yes. A jump start is $125 minimum and we come to you. If the battery tests bad, we can replace it on the same visit so you are not stranded again tomorrow.
How do I know it is the battery and not the alternator or starter?
We test the battery before replacing anything. If the battery is fine, the $125 covers the diagnostic and we tell you what it is and what it costs to fix. Alternators and starters are part of our general mobile repair, so they can usually be handled on site too.
Do you come out at night if my car dies after hours?
Regular hours are 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, 7 days a week. After that we can still come with a surcharge: $150 from 10 PM to midnight and $175 to $200 from midnight to 5 AM. Call (843) 928-2819 and Eryn will get the request to Elijah.
